Francisco José 'Paco' López Fernández (born 19 September 1967) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward, and the current manager of Atlético Levante UD.
Born in Silla, Valencia, Valencian Community, López graduated from Valencia CF's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in Tercera División.
In the 1991 summer López joined Hércules CF in Segunda División B. After appearing regularly in the 1992–93 campaign, which ended in promotion, he played his first match as a professional on 19 September 1993, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 away loss against Real Burgos CF for the Segunda División championship.
On 16 October López scored his first professional goal, netting the third of a 4–0 home win against Villarreal CF. In 1994, he moved to CF Extremadura, also in the second level.
After appearing sparingly, López moved to Levante UD in the third level in January 1995. In July, he moved to CD Castellón in the same level, and scored a career-best 16 goals in the 1997–98 season.
In the 1998 summer López signed for Real Murcia, also in the third division. After appearing regularly he moved to Benidorm CF, retiring with the latter in 2002, aged 34.
